“You have to beat the best” – Several fans have their say on Chelsea drawing Atletico Madrid in the UCL

Chelsea fans react on Twitter as the Blues draw Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16

Chelsea have been drawn against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

The tie represents a tricky fixture for Chelsea. Diego Simeone’s side is one of the hardest teams to break down as shown in their outing against Liverpool last season.

We have played Atletico seven times, with both sides winning two apiece. It promises to be a closely fought match-up.

The Blues went into the draw as group winners. While there are no easy ties in Europe’s premier competition, it is fair to say being group winners does come with its own advantages.

For one, we play the second leg at home. Something that will come in handy against an opponent such as this.

Among the other English clubs in the competition, Manchester City drew Borussia Monchengladbach while Liverpool drew RB Leipzig.

We take a look at how fans reacted to the news on Twitter.
